Arvind,
Better yet, if you have access to an Apple laptop, use KisMAC
(http://kismac.binaervarianz.de/). The latest alpha (beta in my
opinion) version is available at http://alpha.binaervarianz.de/ and
supports the enhanced FMS WEP attacks used in Airsnort and Aircrack.
It can also generate traffic like aircrack, but can accomplish this
using a single Prism2 PCMCIA or USB device instead of the 2 required by
aircrack (aireplay). Also supports dictionary attack testing against
WPA, LEAP, and 128-bit WEP protected networks.
